Sometimes you get sick of root vegetables, or maybe you’re allergic to oranges. My Preferences page (read on to find out how to use this feature) helps us make smart swaps for your box. This feature allows you to rate each kind of produce we might deliver so that when we need to swap out a produce item you don't want, we can exchange it for something you're really going to like.

While preferences help us make smart swaps, they are not used to create a completely customized box for you. Please email us if you have an allergy and we will double check your preferences are set! If you're looking for a totally customized box, learn more about our Custom Box!
